Goose Island Brewhouse – Philly

One of my favorite beers is Goose Island Cooper Project. Goose Island originates from Chicago, a handful of locations including their most recent opening located in Philadelphia, Penn’s Landing neighborhood.

Walked inside to a friendly welcome from staff and of course barrels n’ barrels of brew. Nice size bar including an outdoor seating area. I immediately noticed the goose tap handles (made me smile) and ordered a 10 oz glass of Cooper Project #1, Scotch ale. This is a rotating series of bourbon barrel aged beers. It’s smooth with an appealing flavor…perhaps it’s the bourbon.

I ordered the House made pretzel that is gigantic but so delicious. Buttery, slight crunch on the outside & chewy inside with a side of beer cheese and beer mustard. Goose Island’s beer cheese is fantastic! Kudos to the inventor of beer cheese because I love it.
